Dont these people realize that minors must have parents approval, and that video games are not real?
They are Idiots
They are Idiots
They don't seem to get it do they?
Mature rated videogames are not just being given to these kids. The parents are the ones that are disregarding ESRB/Pegi's warning labels on the boxes. They buy the game for little Billy then turn around and say it's the games industry fault that they didn't make an informed decision about what they bought.

This government is filled with ridiculous people. I remember watching a debate on the issue of Universal Health Care Reform in the House of Reps (maybe the Senate, didn't watch very long, you'll see why) and the Republican that was against it was holding, no joke, a baby and was saying in a "baby voice"(as in he was speaking what the baby would be saying) "Don't put more taxes on me just for other people's health care." The many people like this in our government and in the country in general are what scare the crap out of me and will take this law completely out of Context and many states will ban them (since it won't be in control of the federal government because this is a state law going up to the court so if ti passes it means the power is in the hands of the state to regulate video games because they're not covered under free speech or expression).bahumat42 said:

OT: Are you people surprised, these people wanted a britney spears song taken off radio for apparently a having a cuss word in it, and criticizes youtube for not filtering out profanity.
They are part of "The Anti-Fun brigade" so to speak.

I see what you mean but about the no member of government wants to drop a revenue stream, they might not drop it intentionally, but like I said the Television and Film industry have been jealous of the Video Game Industry for quite a while now and would definitely want for video games to be regulated so the money stream from us (since the Industry is more profitable than they are now) will go back to them.bahumat42 said:
Am I missing something. If you are the parents TELEVISION council shouldn't you be more concerned with violent Shows and movies rather than games. Mostly though I just find this funny.
Good general rule: Never believe anything that is being said by a group with either Parents or Family in its name. They always have some odd bias that makes reality an alien concept to them.

The only 'bullying' I see going on here is a bunch of small minded twits trying to impose their arbitrary morality on people that don't want it, and using emotion and propaganda to get their way.
